Ustwo: Apple Arcade "unshackles the finances" from mobile gaming

The developer of Monument Valley and Apple Arcade launch title Assemble With Care on the benefits of subscriptions

The current state of mobile gaming has incentives that have resulted in strange, harmful expectations about how games are and should be priced. It’s still very early days for Apple Arcade, but I’m excited to see whether it can undo the damage and usher in a golden age of mobile gaming.

In this interview with GamesIndustry.biz, chief creative officer Dan Gray and lead designer Joel Beardshaw from Ustwo Games (creators of Monument Valley and more) discuss their own experiences and how liberating it is to be part of a subscription model where the player isn’t thinking about individual games in terms of price.
